Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 5-pack store-bought cinnamon rolls
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 1 container of cream cheese icing (from the cinnamon roll package)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together the cream cheese icing and softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until fully incorporated. Slowly mix in the heavy cream and maple syrup on a lower speed to combine evenly. Finally, stir in the ground cinnamon. Set the glaze aside while cooking the waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Heat your waffle maker to medium temperature and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking, ensuring the waffles will crisp nicely without sticking to the plates.
- Cook the Cinnamon Roll Waffles: Place one cinnamon roll directly in the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 2½ minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove it and set aside to cool slightly. Repeat this process with the remaining cinnamon rolls.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm cinnamon roll waffles generously with the prepared cinnamon maple glaze. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy waffle texture and soft cinnamon roll flavors.
Notes
- Use cooking spray liberally to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking to the waffle maker.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle maker; check for a golden brown color.
- For extra indulgence, serve with additional maple syrup or fresh fruit.
- To keep waffles warm while cooking multiple batches, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F/93°C).
- Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; re-whip before using if it separates.
